We took a night time bus tour of the city. One of the stops was the Lincoln Memorial. And a short walk from that, is the Korean War memorial.
Don't miss this one. It is eerie at night. The way the statues are lit up give them a ghost like appearance. The detail is amazing. Don't miss this one!

When I first visited this site, a security guard told me to come back and see it in the dark. It is inspiring in daylight, but in the dark it's spooky and gives an uneasy sense like the soldiers might have felt walking through the jungle with mist and dense vegetation.

I can only have faith that those who are memorialized here are aware of the awe inspiring monument that honors their sacrifice.

Visited this memorial on a Walk of the Town tour. I balked at the casualty numbers that occurred in such a brief time period. I really knew nothing about the Korean War prior to our visit here and this was an education lesson and a fantastic tribute. I have heard that it is more powerful and chilling at night.

The etched faces on the wall are haunting and beautifully detailed (laser etched). I understand the sculptures of the marching troops adjoining the wall are something to see at night, when the figures give off an eerie glow due to a specially applied coating.

I find myself volunteering to clean this memorial often and enjoy it every time I go. The statues are well put together and in the formation a platoon would walk to sweep an area. The last trip I took my teenage daughter and she too enjoyed the artistry of the memorial.
